Chris Braide is an award winning British singer, songwriter and producer based in Los Angeles and recipient of the acclaimed Ivor Novelo award as well as ASCAP and Billboard awards. He has recently written and produced songs for David Guetta, Lana del Rey, Sia Furler, Christina Aguilera and Yuna. Braide described the project for the Plane Groovy website: We spent a year recording the album in Los Angeles having met at the reformed Buggles [...] show in London September 2010. [...] Geoff and I decided to work together and write some material which then turned into a full album. Geoff was recording Fly From Here and I was writing and producing Lana Del Rey and Paloma Faith at the same time so we were kind of "moonlighting". The name DBA came about because we kept referring to our secret recording sessions as "The Downes Braide Affair" (later renamed Downes , Braide Association).
